We are so sorry we cannot be there in person to express our love and sympathy to the family. You are prayed for and trust that you feel the presence and strength of your Heavenly Father. Bill heard the words "well done faithful servant" as he entered eternity. What a comfort to know we will see him again! And he is no longer sick! Hugs to all!
